Like everything, especially the lease price tag. I needed to come in under $270/mo and did with the 2019 Niro EX.

2018 EX Premium; love the addons; great sound system; comfortable seats; enough room for a road bike in the back with the seats folded down; unbelieveable MPG - at 15K, I am getting an average of 117mpg, and that includes trips from Sacramento, CA to San Diego and to Seattle + a bunch of trips to San Francisco, all on the gas engine. I go over the 26 mile (true) distance on the battery only slightly, if at all, for regular driving. CONS - When I first test drove the Niro, I did not like the road noise from under the car. That hasn't changed, but I can live with it for all of the PROS that the car has. I'm on a lease, and if nothing comparatively better comes out by the time I'm ready, I will buy the car. I'd buy another one again. PHEV is the "sweet spot" in auto technology IMHO. October 2020 - I turned in the leased Niro and bought a new 2019 after being satisfied that the technology was sound. My opinion of the plug-in hybrid Niro has only gotten more positive. When I bought the new one, I also bought a maintenance and extended warranty contract. Together with the original warranty, and the stellar performance of the car, I am very surprised that Kia does not advertise this model more aggressively, or at all. If everyone knew what I know about this particular car, I'm sure a lot more of them would be on the road. We still hardly use any gas. Current mileage is about 330mpg. Because of the CCP pestilence, the car has only 4,000 miles on it to date. We have hardly used any gas at all this year. Excellent car unless you need something with more muscle and cool factor.

Approx $4900 in rebates eases the sticker hit. Remarkably tight turning circle is handy. Amazon was selling the Juice Box 240v charger for $399. Haven’t mastered all the gadgetry as our garage is too damn cold here on the right coast. Read the caution about mounting different size tires as I have mounted 17” snow tires I planned to use!? Was chagrined that we paid too much for the car until the buffoon in the White House cost me mucho more in my RMD’s by his inane comments. Just turned 9K miles. No problems in 2 years approximately 30 miles/charge. No change in home power consumption with JuiceBox charger usage. Previously had 3 Mazda3,s. Niro less fun but it’s growing on us. Car seems well made. Chose it over a Kona EV because of range anxiety, more interior room and solidity. Wife loves heated steering wheel, memory heated leather seats. Bought a mini spare tire for $100 piece of mind. Michelin tires wearing well, ok in light snow. Modern TPMS gives accurate specific Psi by tire.

Where to start. - lack of power, struggles to make it through the grapevine, you'll be stick at 55 or less - seats are ungodly uncomfortable for more than 30 minutes - maintenance issues at 3k miles (power train) - has no life when you drive it, so it steals yours... Soul-sucking drive -infotainment screen is small and does poorly in sunlight - speakers/audio are worst I've ever heard in a car - blind spots are surprising and numerous - bad turn radius - terrible handling/cornering, if you're driving around a corner you'll need to reduce speed significantly - blinkers are dim and hard to see, people don't see them - loud! The engine is super loud when you're not on ev mode Just stay away, so many better cars
